For paper milling specifically:

There is simply no use for paper in the game yet, and as long as that is the case it stays as is. E.g. there simply is nothing planned for it yet, it's a WIP placeholder. Nor uncommon nor any sign of slow development.

We do not do any intense marketing currently next to budget reasons, as we do not want a big influx of players in the current phase of Early Access. We're more than happy with whats going on currently but it doesn't need to be any more. QoL and polish doesn't create sales - it keeps players. Which we do. But features still need to be at least a third of development time.

In the files you can only modify the multiplicators directly, setting the collaboration parameter doesn't work there as it is a template for the GUI that loads the other settings and saves them.

A creative mode is planned for the future.

Yes, but you can switch to the old version via Steam Betas. Right Click Eco -> Properties -> Betas - Select beta. Only works when Eco is not currently running.

While you're here, what do you think about adding a steam shovel? The change from pickaxes and shovels to excavators is enormous, but I think the progression of transport vehicles is very well done - every upgrade (minus powered cart ofc) is useful and reasonable.

A steam shovel would make dirt moving and roadbuilding easier, but if it's slow and clunky and can't dig over it's own height then it could have a good niche while still leaving a very good reason to upgrade to the excavator when it's available

A steam shovel has been proposed a few times now and seems fine for me, but we currently have no plans to add one. The next 'vehicle' will be a boat and then other stuff is coming before new vehicles are considered, though.

Thanks for the links. I'll redirect that to the developers.

At least I dont have issues with people soloing on my servers. But they'll notice themselves quite soon that collaborative efforts pay off much more for themselves as well.

I am new to following this game but it seems like the development is moving pretty slowly. I saw that paper milling was near useless over 2 years ago and is still nearly useless. I wish they would worry less about adding new features like renting property coming up in the new patch and more about polishing what is already in the game.

Well, we'd wish people would like that more as well. Unfortunately that's not the case. Sales are driven by new stuff.

The trello roadmap, because the tree on play.eco is worse than meaningless.

The trello roadmap has never been official and was used for only a very short time. It's totally meaningless.

You can, but collaborative efforts always pay off more.

And makes sense for me, at least. It's two different systems we try out - modules and upgraded work benches itself.

Fixed via Hotfix.

Update 9.2.1 has been released and fixes the following issues:
  • Fixed an issue that prevented users from selecting the default crafting results for hewn logs and mortared stones.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the crafting sound to go on even after crafting has ended.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented SLG-Accounts from logging into the game.

He can possibly mod it, but there is no setting for it.

Please read the important notes in the changelogs. You need to set residency on a single deed. Can do that by clicking on that deed. (It should be the one that contains most of your furniture)

Your server hasn't updated to the new version yet. To play with them you can downgrade your Steam version to 9.1.9 as well. You can do that by rightclicking eco in the library, going to properties, betas and choosing 9.1.9 in the drop down list. This only works while the game is not running.

Your Housing XP is gone because you didn't set your new deed to be your residence yet. Open your deed where the house is on and set it as residence, maybe this fixes it.
